Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this FREE pattern is for a Hungry Caterpillar Theme Playset! It is recommended for Beginner skill level or above. Gauge is not crucial to the patterns as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold the stuffing. A G (and a K) size crochet hook is recommended with worsted weight yarn and you will need a darning needle to weave in the yarn ends and sew any holes shut. This play set comprises 28 separate pieces. This pattern explains how to make 8 of those items, the rest can be made utilizing alternate free patterns by other designers all of which are listed in detail on page 3 of this pattern. This pattern is written in U.S. terminology. Have fun!

Have your child (or classroom!) tell the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar by feeding the Caterpillar the correct food as you read the story! They will be able to practice all kinds of skills like color recognition, counting, gross and fine motor skills. The best part is that you clean up the toy as you play with it!!

This pattern is 10 pages long and contains a full set of instructions with photographic illustrations, and specific links to every other free pattern you will need to put together a full set.

This pattern has been tested! BUT if you find a mistake, please let me know and I will correct it immediately!! As this is a free pattern, and I used mostly unlabelled stash yarn in its creation, I do not have record of specific yarn amounts for each piece. If you figure out yarn amounts and want to share them, feel free to comment or message!
